I loved the first release I reviewed from Afrobaby – ‘LIGHTER’ – and I love ‘I’ll Keep Dancing’. This doesn’t always happen; there’ve been people whose first reviewed release I’ve absolutely adored and found the next disappointing. This isn’t because it sounds different from the first release; be assured I love artists and bands who make songs with different sounds or genres.
Afrobaby says that the song was ‘inspired by a candid conversation with friends about not letting other people’s opinions dictate her actions. I crafted this powerful message of empowerment. “I’ll Keep Dancing” stands not only as a personal declaration but also as a universal anthem for anyone battling self-doubt and striving to remain true to themselves’.
This theme is a continuation of the themes in ‘LIGHTER’ and indeed of the song themes in in her upcoming EP ‘Safe Space’
Musically the track takes elements of electro-pop, all out dance music and Drum & Bass into something that I would describe as a great pop song. And this song would be great if it did the danceable pop thing the whole way through but what raises it above the rest is the moody and atmospheric intro, dropout and outro. Exceptionally well put together music and words that are thoughtful and thought-provoking.
‘I’ll Keep Dancing’ is completely fabulous – great music and words that are definitely worth listening to properly. Compelling and addictive.
